        <h2>Deprecated APIs<span><a class="mark" href="#deprecations_deprecated_apis" id="deprecations_deprecated_apis">#</a></span></h2>


<p>Node.js APIs might be deprecated for any of the following reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use of the API is unsafe.</li>
<li>An improved alternative API is available.</li>
<li>Breaking changes to the API are expected in a future major release.</li>
</ul>
<p>Node.js uses three kinds of Deprecations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Documentation-only</li>
<li>Runtime</li>
<li>End-of-Life</li>
</ul>
<p>A Documentation-only deprecation is one that is expressed only within the
Node.js API docs. These generate no side-effects while running Node.js.
Some Documentation-only deprecations trigger a runtime warning when launched
with <a href="cli.html#cli_pending_deprecation"><code>--pending-deprecation</code></a> flag (or its alternative,
<code>NODE_PENDING_DEPRECATION=1</code> environment variable), similarly to Runtime
deprecations below. Documentation-only deprecations that support that flag
are explicitly labeled as such in the
<a href="#deprecations_list_of_deprecated_apis">list of Deprecated APIs</a>.</p>
<p>A Runtime deprecation will, by default, generate a process warning that will
be printed to <code>stderr</code> the first time the deprecated API is used. When the
<a href="cli.html#cli_throw_deprecation"><code>--throw-deprecation</code></a> command-line flag is used, a Runtime deprecation will
cause an error to be thrown.</p>
<p>An End-of-Life deprecation is used when functionality is or will soon be removed
from Node.js.</p>
<section><h3>Revoking deprecations<span><a class="mark" href="#deprecations_revoking_deprecations" id="deprecations_revoking_deprecations">#</a></span></h3>
<p>Occasionally, the deprecation of an API might be reversed. In such situations,
this document will be updated with information relevant to the decision.
However, the deprecation identifier will not be modified.</p>

<p>The <code>Buffer()</code> function and <code>new Buffer()</code> constructor are deprecated due to
API usability issues that can lead to accidental security issues.</p>
<p>As an alternative, use one of the following methods of constructing <code>Buffer</code>
objects:</p>

<em>uninitialized</em> memory.</li>
<li><a href="buffer.html#buffer_static_method_buffer_allocunsafeslow_size"><code>Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow(size)</code></a>: Create a <code>Buffer</code> with <em>uninitialized</em>
memory.</li>
<li><a href="buffer.html#buffer_static_method_buffer_from_array"><code>Buffer.from(array)</code></a>: Create a <code>Buffer</code> with a copy of <code>array</code></li>
<li><a href="buffer.html#buffer_static_method_buffer_from_arraybuffer_byteoffset_length"><code>Buffer.from(arrayBuffer[, byteOffset[, length]])</code></a> -
Create a <code>Buffer</code> that wraps the given <code>arrayBuffer</code>.</li>
<li><a href="buffer.html#buffer_static_method_buffer_from_buffer"><code>Buffer.from(buffer)</code></a>: Create a <code>Buffer</code> that copies <code>buffer</code>.</li>
<li><a href="buffer.html#buffer_static_method_buffer_from_string_encoding"><code>Buffer.from(string[, encoding])</code></a>: Create a <code>Buffer</code>
that copies <code>string</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Without <code>--pending-deprecation</code>, runtime warnings occur only for code not in
<code>node_modules</code>. This means there will not be deprecation warnings for
<code>Buffer()</code> usage in dependencies. With <code>--pending-deprecation</code>, a runtime
warning results no matter where the <code>Buffer()</code> usage occurs.</p>

<p>In an earlier version of the Node.js <code>cluster</code>, a boolean property with the name
<code>suicide</code> was added to the <code>Worker</code> object. The intent of this property was to
provide an indication of how and why the <code>Worker</code> instance exited. In Node.js
6.0.0, the old property was deprecated and replaced with a new
<a href="cluster.html#cluster_worker_exitedafterdisconnect"><code>worker.exitedAfterDisconnect</code></a> property. The old property name did not
precisely describe the actual semantics and was unnecessarily emotion-laden.</p>

<p>Use of the <a href="crypto.html#crypto_crypto_pbkdf2_password_salt_iterations_keylen_digest_callback"><code>crypto.pbkdf2()</code></a> API without specifying a digest was deprecated
in Node.js 6.0 because the method defaulted to using the non-recommended
<code>'SHA1'</code> digest. Previously, a deprecation warning was printed. Starting in
Node.js 8.0.0, calling <code>crypto.pbkdf2()</code> or <code>crypto.pbkdf2Sync()</code> with
<code>digest</code> set to <code>undefined</code> will throw a <code>TypeError</code>.</p>
<p>Beginning in Node.js v11.0.0, calling these functions with <code>digest</code> set to

is <code>undefined</code>.</p>

<p>Since Node.js versions 4.4.0 and 5.2.0, several modules only intended for
internal usage were mistakenly exposed to user code through <code>require()</code>. These
modules were:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>v8/tools/codemap</code></li>
<li><code>v8/tools/consarray</code></li>
<li><code>v8/tools/csvparser</code></li>
<li><code>v8/tools/logreader</code></li>

<li><code>v8/tools/profile</code></li>
<li><code>v8/tools/SourceMap</code></li>
<li><code>v8/tools/splaytree</code></li>
<li><code>v8/tools/tickprocessor-driver</code></li>
<li><code>v8/tools/tickprocessor</code></li>
<li><code>node-inspect/lib/_inspect</code> (from 7.6.0)</li>
<li><code>node-inspect/lib/internal/inspect_client</code> (from 7.6.0)</li>
<li><code>node-inspect/lib/internal/inspect_repl</code> (from 7.6.0)</li>
</ul>
<p>The <code>v8/*</code> modules do not have any exports, and if not imported in a specific
order would in fact throw errors. As such there are virtually no legitimate use
cases for importing them through <code>require()</code>.</p>
<p>On the other hand, <code>node-inspect</code> can be installed locally through a package
manager, as it is published on the npm registry under the same name. No source
code modification is necessary if that is done.</p>

<p>A CommonJS module can access the first module that required it using
<code>module.parent</code>. This feature is deprecated because it does not work
consistently in the presence of ECMAScript modules and because it gives an
inaccurate representation of the CommonJS module graph.</p>
<p>Some modules use it to check if they are the entry point of the current process.
Instead, it is recommended to compare <code>require.main</code> and <code>module</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">if</span> (<span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>.<span class="hljs-property">main</span> === <span class="hljs-variable language_">module</span>) {
  <span class="hljs-comment">// Code section that will run only if current file is the entry point.</span>
}</code></pre>
<p>When looking for the CommonJS modules that have required the current one,
<code>require.cache</code> and <code>module.children</code> can be used:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> moduleParents = <span class="hljs-title class_">Object</span>.<span class="hljs-title function_">values</span>(<span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>.<span class="hljs-property">cache</span>)
  .<span class="hljs-title function_">filter</span>(<span class="hljs-function">(<span class="hljs-params">m</span>) =></span> m.<span class="hljs-property">children</span>.<span class="hljs-title function_">includes</span>(<span class="hljs-variable language_">module</span>));</code></pre>
